Today, we discussed the exam you will be writing on March 18 (this Thursday). The list we came up with was a joint effort and is in ADDITION to the terms list you recieved last week (you need to study both). We also watched videos on refugee camps in Kenya and Thailand, Ellis Island, and Big Box Mart (as a reminder).
The list we generated today is added below:

Political: U.N., G8, Bush!!!!!!
Economic: IMF (international monetary fund), G8, World Trade Organization

Acadians: forced emigration (to leave)
Cultural diversity: Metis, Canada today, French Canadian, (immigration: to arrive)
